NEWS IRS Extends Hours The IRS office at the American Embassy would like to remind taxpayers that the deadline for overseas filers is Monday, June 16th, 2008. To accommodate the large number of taxpayers wishing to file their returns, we will extend our regular hours of Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 9am to 4pm. The office will be open Friday, June 13th from 9am to 4pm and Monday, June 16th from 2pm to 4pm. We regret that we will not be able to answer complex tax questions or help prepare tax returns on these two days due to the high number of taxpayers filing their returns. If you would like proof that you have filed your return, bring an extra copy of the first page (e.g. 1040 or 1040NR) and we will date–stamp the copy for your records. If you cannot file your return by June 16th, you can receive a four month automatic extension by filing Form 4868 by June 16th, 2008.
